Swedish newspaper Svenska Dagbladet lists Paola Persson Peroni – Maybe in Love as one of 2022’s best titles. Paola Persson Peroni – Maybe in Love is illustrated by Maja Säfström, internationally known for her unbeatably sweet series about animal facts, and written by Emi Gunér.

Antti Tuomainen’s lauded The Moose Paradox is one of just two translated titles to feature on the Guardian’s list of best crime and thriller novels of 2022. The UK newspaper calls The Moose Paradox a “standout” as well as “delightfully funny.”

The second official trailer for A Man Called Otto, the Hollywood film adaptation of Fredrik Backman’s #1 New York Times Bestseller A Man Called Ove, has now been released.

The much-anticipated movie, directed by Marc Forster and starring Tom Hanks, will be in theatres everywhere from January 13.

Ia Genberg’s The Details is nominated for the prestigious Svenska Dagbladet’s Literature Prize 2022.

The prize was inaugurated in 1944 and is awarded to a promising Swedish author whose authorship is in strong development. Previous winners include writers such as Lina Wolff, Per Wahlöö and P O Enquist. 

When A Man Called Ove was published in 2012, no one could imagine that it 10 years later would be described as an international phenomenon. But the story about annoying neighbors and the importance of driving a Saab was a success everywhere, from Germany to South Korea, occupied the New York Times bestseller list for over a year, and has now sold more than 8 million copies globally. The Swedish movie adaptation was nominated for an Oscar, and an American version starring Tom Hanks is to premiere now in December 2022.

This special jubilee edition celebrates 10 years of Ove and offers the chance to enjoy the novel all over again. For the very first time, author Fredrik Backman shares the personal story of how it all started and the origins of the book. In its rich extra material, readers from all over the world give their perspective on Ove’s journey from an anonymous little neighborhood in Sweden, to Hollywood.
